Presentation from SAPO CodeBits in Lisboa online

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Our presentation at SAPO CodeBits is done, the videos will be posted on the codebits.eu website later. The presentation is again available for your viewing pleasure in OpenOffice , SWF, and PDF format.

A major focus of the presentation here is the imminent 0.10 release. While Thomas stayed in Munich fixing bugs and getting stuff up and running Souvik joined me here in Lisboa for a bit of networking, un-conferencing and chilling. With about 600 attendees and four stages in an old rope factory, the location is set up just perfect.

Also we have to say that SAPO CodeBits is an awesome conference format. The hacking contest, all night long, music and party. Plus, here things are free once you get accepted to the conference. Even Pizza, Coffee, Drinks, Chocolate and Energy Drinks – all just available. The crowd is very mixed, and the talks are all really interesting.

Here are some impressions from the CodeBits location…
